Hi, I am thinking of buying a 1986 Camaro Z28 w/ a 305 crate motor from Autozone. I was just wonderning what the HP and Torque ratings are for a 305 Crate from Autozone and how reliable they are. Thanks

 

I didn't even know autozone had crate motors, or that anyone bothered with 305 crates. I'll bet a quick google search could bring up the answer.

 

I dont think its so much a "Autozone" crate motor. Its kind of like "ebay" items. Its not really a brand autozone just sells someone elses brand. You probably need to find out what brand it is. As a note when I look at cars personally if there is no paperwork to prove work has been done, it hasn't been done. Thats just me though.

 

Autozone sales rebuilt engines. They are built to stock specs. 165hp@4400, 250tq@2000

 

89 iroc z.....hey, in your stunt car pix.....what was the chain around the steering column for????and do you plan on fixing it up??? or drive as is....can "you" plate/ register it????
it looks like fun.....and you have some great looking cars....

 

The chain was for safety, No I'm not fixing it up. yes, it's very fun to drive around. But I got it just for the engine and tranny, and other parts.

 

is it easy to get "movie" cars like that??.....I bet it makes great a conversation peace.....could you title it if you wanted to....

 

dont put a crapzone crate motor in it. sry thats how i feel about their motors. go somewhere better.

 

If you're gonna buy a crate motor, at least get a 350. Don't waste money on a 305.

 

I think he is looking at a car that already has the engine......
